getting stuck finding a donor?
Of course you want to be the best parent that you can be and of course you're future child is at the centre of all your decisions when it comes to navigating the choppy waters of donor selection.
You're doing your due diligence and learning from the important voices on social media from donor conceived adults who talk about the importance of a known or at least an open donor.
If you live in Australia you're pretty stuck. Unless you're blessed with an incredible family member or friend who's willing to go through this huge process for you.
Because let's face it, it's not something to take lightly and it's a huge medical procss to undergo. First of all this individual has to meet all of the necessary medical screens to be considered a good candidate.
Then you have to think about all of the worst case scenarios and how that would affect your relationship.
In Australia it's illegal to pay anyone for egg donation, so there's a huge lack of egg donors.
You can compensate their expenses and that is it.
World wide it's a different story but other than the US known egg donors are pretty hard to come by.
So how do you navigate feeling so stuck. Adoption in Australia is a long and difficult process too.
I'm sorry if you're feeling like this. Torn between so many barriers and yet just wanting to create a family filled with love.
Sending LOVE and support x
